Are you still building against the debug version of FLTK?
IIRC, the debug version of FLTK builds 'console' apps
(/subsystem:console)
and the release version of FLTK builds 'windows' apps
(/subsystem:windows)
when it comes to the test programs.
Either way, check this linker flag in your executable's build.
Quoting the docs:

How to Not Get a MSDOS Console Window
WIN32 has a really stupid mode switch stored in the executables that controls
whether or not to make a console window.
To always get a console window you simply create a console application
(the "/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE" option for the linker). For a GUI-only application
create a WIN32 application (the "/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS" option for the linker).
FLTK includes a WinMain() function that calls the ANSI standard main()
entry point for you. This function creates a console window when you
use the debug version of the library.
WIN32 applications without a console cannot write to stdout or stderr,
even if they are run from a console window. Any output is silently thrown
away. Additionally, WIN32 applications are run in the background by the
console, although you can use "start /wait program" to run them in the
foreground.
